Little help with the SB i7 Config :)

[Jaskanwar Singh]

^^40gb is at 6k AFAIK.

 

[giri1991]

My movie dumps do bro I am using 6 MBPS connection, You can literally calculate how much crap I dump every month lol!

250 + 500 + 1TB is my present space hold. It already filled the 1400 GB mark. Going future proof

Kinda finalized

Core i7 2600K
ASUS Sabertooth P67 or P8P67 EVO / Deluxe (I just want Bluetooth, Too much addicted over that function ever since lappy usage )
Corsair 2*4GB DDR3 1333
Any 40 or 60 GB SSD
250 GB HDD (Reusing)
500 GB HDD (WD Caviar BlackSATA) [Question: Does it support SATA 6 Gb/s ?]
500 GB HDD (Reusing)
2 TB HDD (New Segate)
Dell ST2220L 21.5” W Full HD Monitor with LED (Just a big LED Fan ;D) [Vicky's choice ]
1.1k UPS

I also planned to get a stabilizer just in case, Stupid question ? The person said he has only 1K v-guard, and with 1.1k UPS ? How can this go in ?

The parts I am still struggling to decide are the PSU, GPU and the Cabinet, Regarding the Cabinet, I will buy something thats Big and spacey

And regarding the PSU, I am not sure what to do ... Referring there (PassMark Software - Video Card Benchmarks - High End Video Cards) it definitely got a greater benchmark value! Again is Physx really needed, As you can see from the beginning of the discussion I have low knowledge about physx.

If you suggest HD 6970, I saw at some boards that HD 6950 shaders can be unlocked and made perform like HD 6970 ? (Current stock HD 6950, btw) That definitely saves me around some 4~5K!

As you can see Vicky suggested me Seasonic 850W S12D-850 80+ Silver Certification psu, Do I really need 850W ? Or something low / cheap will do ? I have future plans to overclock, So suggestions will help

Regarding the present config, I have plans to give to my friend btw!

i had started reading sabertooth review yesterday only
will tell you soon.

for SSD look at Coresair Force or Mushkin Callisto Deluxe.
look at Seagate 500GB 7200.12 or WD 500GB Blue for game storage. but load the game you currently play on SSD as OS takes 20-25gb only.
for music look at WD 500GB green.
for dumps again look at WD 1TB Green. i think dumps dont take up 2TB.

yup 8GB sufficient. get from corsair, g.skill, kingston.

since your budget is good look at DELL Ultrasharp U2311H IPS panel.

Core i7 2600K @ 17k~
ASUS Sabertooth P67 @ 12.5k~ (will tell soon)
Corsair 2*4GB DDR3 1333 @ 4.6k
Zotac/MSI GTX570 @ 21.5k(since you need physx. otherwise Sapphire/ MSI HD6970)
Mushkin Callisto Deluxe 60GB/ Corsair Force 60GB @ 8k~
Seagate 500GB 7200.12/WD 500GB Blue @ 1.7k
WD 500GB Green @ 1.7k
WD 1TB Green @ 2.7k
PSU - dont know about Huntkey. let someone else reply.
CM 690 II Plus @ 5k
DELL Ultrasharp U2311H @ 13.7k


or leave the SSD for now. this rig is costing 88k. it will be good if you specify budget. its easier for us to suggest.

GTX 580 will totally destroy my future Mac funds :'( Theres gonna be much Encoding and less gaming btw Just want some card that can mostly max out on that giant monitor

@ giri1991

You can go for p67 sabertooth. As far as the ssd, check corsair 60gb @ 6k . make it your primary partition. Go for gtx 580 @ 30k instead of 570. It simply demolishes the competition(read 6970).

Bro, Is Delta @ Richie is the only shop where I can get a cheap rig ? Or you know some connections / places ?

Yes, ASUS Sabertooth is awesome and it's VFM motherboard IMO. I don't heard any exceptional review about P8P67 EVO, so can't comment about it.

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

Buddy i think a 10TB HDD should be made for u.
Black sata3 is 5k. No use since u getting 60gb Ssd.
If u need physx in games get 570.
For psu Corsair HX650W will suffice. Get modular.
If u can spend 8.5k on cabby nzxt phantom white.(beauty)
CM HAF612 advanced at 7k.
690 II plus is more cheaper option.

Dell ips panel is much more better than that tn panel.

 

[Gaurav Bhattacharjee]

for modular psu... you might like Silverstone Strider Plus 650W...
you can check the review by 3DGAMEMAN on Youtube...search for it...

 

[giri1991]

I was referring that thread, *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/pc-components-configurations/96218-hardware-spec-sheet-price-update.html

It quoted WD Caviar BlackSATA 500Gig @ 2.8k

If R&D works their arse off at a 10TB HDD, I will seriously support them by buying WHY NOT!

nzxt phantom white is indeed beautiful! 8.5K ? Holy COW! CM's costly too As said I will buy a large cheap bin

Regarding the monitor, If budget helps I will get the ultrasharp, Or else I will have to settle for the ST2220L!

And I think I will go for GTX 570! Hmm Corsair!!! Have to check the availability of these stuff over here at Chennai!

I was talking of 1tb black. That 500gb isnt sata3. Instead get a 1tb blue or 7200.12 at that price. Best for u.

 

[giri1991]

Ah, Right will check on it during purchase!

[Piyush]

huntkey is one of the well reputed brands
no objections from my side

 

[giri1991]

And they are cheap too!

may be
but many websites that review gfx cards use this brand too
so no worries

 

[giri1991]

I have a pretty weird question now, Do I have power managements options in a desktop ? Like the laptop's ? Like where I can define profiles, Turn HDD's off, Lower GPU / CPU usage etc ... ?

Guy's just checked my config price from stores and it just gave me goosebump! Its around 100K! And a new config started me thinking! Why not 2 cards!

HD 6950 flashed to 6970 performance along with a 5K Physx card ?

So 2 cards how much more of a power sucker they are gonna be and how can they perform all together, in non physx games compared to GTX 570.

If this plan aint gonna sound great! I am buying GtX 570

 

[vickybat]

I don't appreciate a physx config for your budget. Go for gtx 570 and sli later. No need for a physx only card.

 

[giri1991]

Right! And regarding the weird power management question ?

[furious_gamer]

^^ Yes you can. BTW IIRC, it will be idle if it's not in use. So no need to do that, i guess.

 

[giri1991]

Bro, Regarding my previous query. "Is Delta @ Richie is the only shop where I can get a cheap rig ? Or you know some connections / places ?"

As far as I remember you were at Chennai right ?

[vickybat]

Well i guess a destop allows limited power management options unlike a laptop.

Windows 7 has a power saving feature in its control panel.

Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options

I power options, you get two options:

1. Balanced- Automatically balances performance with energy consumption on capable hardware.

2. Power Saver- Saves energy by reducing the computer's performance where possible.

Hope this helps.

Right! Thanks again!

Yes, i was. But not now.

BTW There are lot of other shops but you have to roam around a lot to get a good bargain. If you need help, i can forward you to a shop i know well. And if you want to get all at one, Delta is the way to go. You get reasonable bargain and out of all, warranty for all products at one shop. Peace.

 

[giri1991]

The money involved here is way too much, All at one shop thinge wont work, I might consider delta for the stuff I cant find out other shops ... And Delta is too stubborn, They aren't ready even to reduce a penny Sad I wasn't a regular customer ... But the value of purchase was high ...

And regarding your shop referral, Can ya gimme some details Via PM, I would like to visit him once before making decisions Hope he doesn't mind me visiting just for a quote

Yes, i was. But not now.

buddy after reading reviews i find P8P67 Deluxe a better choice than Sabertooth P67 due to its more connectivity options. the performance will be same. they both are good overclockers. or get whatever you find cheaper of two.
